FM: HR_READ_INFOTYPE Problem

[Former Member]

Hi all you ABAP experts!

I'm working in a program (report mode) that has to read the data from an Infotype (in this case is IT0584) just after the IT has been created (by the same program, using CALL TRANSACTION). I am using the HR_READ_INFOTYPE FM as follows:

-

---

CLEAR: p0584, p0584[].

CALL FUNCTION 'HR_READ_INFOTYPE'

EXPORTING

pernr = l_test_pernr

infty = l_infty

"BYPASS_BUFFER = 'X'

TABLES

infty_tab = p0584

EXCEPTIONS

infty_not_found = 1

OTHERS = 2.

" p0584 was declared using: INFOTYPES: 0584.

-

---

As you can notice the BYPASS_BUFFER parameter is commented. The "problem" is that I can see the record just created in SE16 but I can't get anything into p0584.

Now, if I uncomment the BYPASS_BUFFER I get the record(s) into p0584. Could anybody please explain me why this happens? How exactly does the BYPAS_BUFFER parameter is affecting p0584?

This really confuses me because I'm using the same FM without the BYPASS_BUFFER at the begining of the program for the same Infotype and successfully getting the existing records by that moment.

I will really appreciate if any can provide me the answer. Many thanks in advance!

hi,

Actually this hr_read infotype fm processes the data in such a way that it keeps the personal number locked until the entire loop within which it is declared gets completed.So if we r using this to read large data u have to call a Fm to initialize the buffer first.

in ur case it is keeping the data in buffer so ur able to fetch the data.

reward points if helpful,

Hi Sumanjeet!

Thank you for your answer.

Is it possible to unlock the personal number? I have tried with the BAPI_EMPLOYEE_ENQUEUE/DEQUEUE but it didn't make any difference.

What FM should I use to initialize the buffer?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi rix,

After call transaction try committing the work explicitly by using command 'COMMIT WORK'.

I guess your program updates the database only after committing the work/ end of the program.

IF you commit work explicitly you should able to read through HR_READ_INFOTYPE in both modes.

Hope this helps,

HI

Hope this will help you.

try to make use of FM

Thank you all guys for your help. I will create a new question to find if someone can explain me what does the BYPASS_BUFFER parameter do.
